Specialized carbon cranks fitment question
Ok I have been out of the loop for about 8 years so I'm not up on all these new bottom bracket types. I have an extra Specialized carbon crankset from my 2010 tarmac pro and I want to see about putting it on my wife's 2011 Orbea Onix. It has the external shell type BB and I know the specialized says it's BB30 compatible. It appears by looking at the frames they both have oversized shell's in the frame but I wasn't sure what I needed to make it work. I only have the crank arms and rings, no bearings or BB shell or anything for the specialized stuff. Will this work?

Well I can't find for sure if the Onix is BB30 or not...if you are sure that it is then what you need is a set of BB30 bearings like these: https://fairwheelbikes.com/hsc-bb30-c...it-p-3689.html
They will need pressed in...from many reports you should probably have them loctited in to avoid creaking. Search for BB30 threads and you will find the appropriate type of loctite.

Ok cool, yeah I know I have seen the specs for her BB and I could have sworn it was BB30 but having trouble finding it too. I will call the shop on monday to double check.
